What is a Joint Injection?

Joint injections are targeted treatments that deliver medication directly into a joint, tendon sheath, or surrounding soft tissue. They are commonly used to treat inflammation and pain caused by arthritis, injuries, or repetitive strain.

A typical injection contains a corticosteroid, a local anaesthetic, or a combination of both. This provides both immediate numbing and longer‑lasting anti‑inflammatory effects.

Patients often experience:

  • Relief lasting from weeks to several months
  • Relief lasting from weeks to several months
  • Reduced pain
  • Improved mobility
  • Faster return to normal activities

Osteoarthritis (knees, hips, shoulders, hands)
Frozen shoulder
Tennis or golfer’s elbow
Bursitis
Tendonitis (rotator cuff, patellar)
